Canadian Ckayaker: October 2013
http://ckayaker.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 15, 2013. If you use a wooden Greenland style paddle, made either by yourself or someone else, do it a big favour and give it some care every now and then. What that means is giving it a light body rub with some fine sandpaper. Check its tips for cuticle repair. Again you can use sandpaper for this task. When you're done, do a final rub down with a cloth. Posted using BlogPress from my iPod Touch. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Eastern Townships, Quebec, Canada. View my complete profile.

http://gitcheegummee.blogspot.com/2009/06/lake-superior-st-ignace-island-nirivia.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Lake Superior, St. Ignace Island – Nirivia Invasion. I'm still getting caught up posting for past kayak trips. This post from our trip to Rossport Ontario and the St. Ignace archipelago from back in Sept, 2005. Sad to say, but I have not dipped the paddle in the water yet this year. I hope to get out for a paddle in the Bayfield area at the end of June. 2005 September 10 – September 14: Rossport Ontario to Armour Harbor on St. Ignace Island and return to Rossport. 8226; Promote and...

Canadian Ckayaker: July 2012
http://ckayaker.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 22, 2012. Recently paddled out to Gordon Island in Ontario's 1000 Island Park with some friends. The island has until recently been off limits due to an infestation of insects which hollowed out the numerous large oak trees on the island leaving them in danger of suddenly falling on visitors. The trees were mostly cut down and burned and then the island left to regenerate. The winds were up on the crossing making the paddle rather interesting. Another sad feature much in evidence was the eff...

Canadian Ckayaker: Ottawa River Weekend
http://ckayaker.blogspot.com/2013/09/ottawa-river-weekend.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. There's a sweet spot on the Ottawa River west of the city of Ottawa. It's a spot above Arnprior where the river narrows and divides into several channels and bays. The current and the wildlife conspire to make for some very pleasant paddling. Sadly we had no money for refreshments in Portage, but the barman was kind. Cokes were on the house, but we declined his offer. It wasn't easy to finally head back to camp at the end of the day. September 26, 2013 8:12 PM. Paddling to Sa...

Canadian Ckayaker: Sandbanks Provincial Park, Ontario
http://ckayaker.blogspot.com/2013/06/sandbanks-provincial-park-ontario.html
Wednesday, June 5, 2013. Sandbanks Provincial Park, Ontario. On the recent holiday weekend some friends and I went to Sandbanks Provincial Park for a little paddle. Hoping for some serious surf action, I took along my paddling helmet. Well, it was dead calm, but at least warm and sunny. We paddled along the park beach, but the more interesting paddle turned out to the the little stream which connects East Lake to Lake Ontario. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
